Used 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280-Class for Sale near Corte Madera, CA

I believe this car is one of the best that Mercedes has ever made. It is incredibly advanced for its age. Everything is electric, disc brakes all around, and A/C. Plus, the beauty of the car is something else.

Excellent all round car,powerful and well built

This car is a blast to drive, from the roar of its all aluminum fuel injected V8, to its very compliant ride, yet responsive handling. The interior is no nonsense by todays standards, but VERY comfortable. It has a timeless look!

What else can I say but... Flawless power: 4.5L V8 obvious handling: European self explanitory Style and Grace: To the likeness of a Rolls Royce Durability: 37 Years later and still the original Rubber What more can I say if you don't have one GET ONE!!

Tank, period. Plenty of power to motivate it smoothly down the highway, but consumes an amount of gasoline exponentially proportionate to how far you push the right pedal down. Definite head turner, many of these people might be thinking "is that pure cash I see draining out of the tailpipe?". As with all Mercedes I know of, you will either be pleasantly surprised or inversely devastated in the unlikely instance something breaks, with the exception of the heater controls, which WILL break and WILL be expensive to fix, properly. If you get one with AC and it has the original freon in it, don't mess with it. If you convert it to R34a, it will be more for looks than real comfort "oh, it has AC?", "yes, don't touch it". Also typical of Mercedes, this thing will likely go forever if you maintain it. You can feel the solid car as it doesn't necessarily move, but continually dominate and occupy different sections of space as it goes from A to B. Chrome everywhere, but in a very cool way. Impractical as a daily driver if only for the horrible gas mileage. Besides, do you really want to rack up the miles on a sweet old car like this? Sure you do! I would trust this car to drive just about anywhere, as long as it is in the fall or winter!
